Stand-up comedian and comedy writer Alex “The Master” Calleja, who has helped bring Filipino stand-up comedy to a wider audience, now conquers a new medium with his first ABS-CBN Publishing book venture entitled “Lakas Tawa.”

Alex is now a certified multimedia comedian in the country, having done bar gigs, the stage and television and, now, print as he released his compilation of jokes not just from his “Lakas Tawa” program on ABS-CBN TVplus channel CineMo, but from the entirety of his entertainment career.

The Pinoy comedian, who was runner up at the Laugh Factory’s global search for the Funniest Person in the World said of the book, “it’s handy so it can be brought anywhere. It can make people laugh wherever they are.”

The former IT professional said it feels good to see his jokes in a book and is proud to be a published writer. “I’m now in the same league as Jose Rizal, J.K. Rowling, and Dan Brown,” he quipped.
